What does the Prime Minister's shakeup of green commitments mean for Scotland? Following a leak to the BBC, Prime Minister Rishi Sunak has announced a shift in net zero greenhouse gas emission targets, pushing the timeline to replace fossil fuel burning cars and boilers further back. While Sunak claims he's still committed to reaching net zero by 2050, First Minister Humza Yousaf has said it would be "unforgivable" for the UK to row back on its climate commitments - but what does it actually mean for Scotland? The team discuss the implications, and question whether this bombshell announcement is a sign an election is closer than we think.
